Hey, college kids! Stop sinning!

I kept my word and went to confession this afternoon. I thought I'd be smart and get there early to beat the crowd. I was so wrong. I arrived 10 minutes before the start time and was #11 in line! What are these college kids up to? Okay, don't answer that. They're probably up to much of the same things I was up to in college. That's part of the comfort of going to confession at work: there's no doubt the priest has heard some juicy stuff and won't be shocked at what I have to say.

Anyway, I barely made it in. I was the last one the priest heard, and there were 6 people behind me. Ironically, when I committed one of the sins I needed to confess, I said to myself, "Oh, well. I'll just go to confession." It took me almost six weeks. I will never take this sacrament for granted again.
